I seriously think that on top of everything No Mans Sky is going to be my GOTY. Like I knew it was gonna be at E3 and my hype kinda fizzled before the show, but seeing everything they added since it's Spike debut and BAM I was fired up again, cause I don't think anything excites me as much as Space exploration.

I'm just a little bit disappointed that the game isn't actually multiplayer (I was lead to believe it was. Dunno why). I read that on their website only yesterday.

It actually has some online feature but it's just that every player is playing in their own separate worlds and they can have an influence on other worlds. Kinda like Dark Souls without the invasions. It will probably still be a cool game though

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is shaping up to be the best licensed game since Batman Arkham.

this was a great E3, IMOO the best in years, great games coming to all platforms PC/PS4/XB1/WiiU/Vita/3DS

Fireseed3596d ago

It's kinda like this. When a player discovers something, they can choose to name it and share it with No Mans Skys in game database. Or keep the discovery to yourself.

If you share it, it will show up in other players games as what you named it (Given that your naming has passed certification of course lol). And it'll also place a waypoint people can warp to. Or otherwise travel to. However I'm not sure what the advantage of keeping things secret is just yet but I'm sure there will be one.

But I agree I would love to see some kind of multiplayer, if not MMO at least like Minecraft where you and invited friends can explore together.

Nine_Thousaaandd3596d ago

Yup...I agree, easily one of the most impressive looking games at E3! I can't wait to play it!

Dinosaurs and space exploration FTW!

Dude, crazy moment happened to me last night. I'm sitting in my room playing some destiny with the door open. My doorway to my room is literally at the end of the kitchen and my roommates are having some people over and doing their partying thing.

One guy comes in and sees me playing Destiny and starts talking to me about his friends game. First off it's apparent that he isn't well versed in video games. Apparently he had a good friend that he meet working in a reasturant. He tells me this guy was originally Scottish and has wanted nothing more than to develop video games. He also goes on to describe him as a prodigy as he is 21 at the oldest now.

He goes on to tell me that he started working with this small group from the UK (This is taking place in NC, USA)and he just got shown a trailer of the game he was working on. He started to describe it as GTA but on a island and it's all about exploration and you can got into space (again he obviously isn't well versed in video games). He's trying to remember the name and I say "That kind of sounds like No Man's Sky." not because I thought that's what it really was but I just saw a few parallels in what he was describing.

He immediately says "Yup, That's it!" I was in awe. Apparently he is one of the many art/graphics designers. He is in charge of modeling pretty much everything down to the detail of the controls in the ships. He recently just got back from a month long trip in Australia just getting feedback and pictures from their beaches for inspiration.

I really hope I get to meet this guy, especially considering that I would love to hear how his job as a modler works in a game that is all proceduarly generated.

Perjoss3596d ago

for me it was:

In no particular order

Elite Dangerous
No Mans Sky
Batman
Ori and the Blind Forest also looks awesome

There were quite a few exciting things from Sony but they were mostly very early in development.

MasterCornholio3596d ago

No mans sky was amazing. I can't believe that an Indie studio managed to produce something like that. Like it or not Indies ar bringing innovation to the market while most AAA studios produce the same franchises over and over again.

incendy353596d ago

Hard to say since I wasn't there but of all the show floor demos I saw Ori stood out the most to me. The controls just look so damn perfect!

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave12d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan12d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos31d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts30d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook730d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka30d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka30d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr31d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz31d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos30d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1731d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca31d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
